SHITTY MATERIAL
Magdalena Ursula Koestler Ella Sophie Stauber
This project began with a simple act: collecting.
Horse manure, taken directly from the cycle, dried, processed further, sometimes left raw. Through experimenting, testing, and discarding, different mixtures and surfaces emerged.
During the process, one thing became clear: the main component is hay. A material that was already part of a finished product—digested, used, excreted—and now receives a new function. What is considered waste becomes legible again. The material is given time, form, and meaning.
It can be used to fertilize soil, produce wood-like material and for 3D printing - Horse manure has many valuable properties. It also stores energy that can be used for thermal purposes.
With our toolkit, we want to inspire and draw attention to seeing waste materials, such as animal excrement, in a different light and recognizing their potential.
